You may want to go deeper with your audience. Masterclasses can be tailored and developed to suit your audience needs, be it a 90-minute Masterclass , a half-day or full-day workshop or a full online or face-to-face programme. Please contact one of our expert team to discuss.

Tech trends to capitalise on
Clare Dillon uses her expertise and insight to help organisations to capitalise on emerging tech trends, some of which have been accelerated by the pandemic. Each masterclass is tailored for your particular industry, so she can do a deep-dive into how both larger and micro-trends affect that industry or a sector within it. Participants gain a much better understanding of how to identify the trends that affect them, and how to make the most of them in the immediate and longer term.

“Clare made an engaging and energetic presentation on AI innovation at our conference on “Patenting Artificial Intelligence” in Munich on 30 May 2018, setting the tone for the day and being a major contributor to the very positive feedback we received for the event. For me as an organiser, it was a real pleasure to work with Clare as she translated perfectly the aims we had for the conference through the structure, content and enthusiasm of her presentation. She also convened important messages through her participation as a panellist in the panel discussion on the “Challenges of drafting applications for AI-related inventions”.  Pia Björk, European Patent Office
